Convict Colony

If Liverpool do pay 50m I eagerly await them feeding their journo friends the line it wasnt as high as reported as they try to save face.

From the analyst website - lots of interesting stuff on there https://theanalyst.com/eu/2023/08/championship-stats-2023-24-opta/ On the control one Red is where the opposition has had over 55% of the touches in that area.

Bro I dont write the blog I just share the info people might find interesting but yes your correct, if you can post all the other approaches as well that would be interesting as genuinely is there a tactic to defeat the low block ? When i think low block i think chelsea v barca away after having a man sent off, what defeats a low block ?

Just for information this is how city try and get around the low block. Of course caveats regarding player quality etc etc

It was actually annoying that most of them seemed to be towards edozie.

So do I hence my default positivity and hilarious banter no else finds funny.

Best indictment of us at the moment is i wish we had a game today as i want to watch what we did again.

All I know is being a fan of our club is better than being a fan of Ajax. They look like they will lose this window - Tadic, Kudus, Alvarez, Timber and Bassey among others and only really bought Borges so far, they must be screwed financially now they aren't in the champions league this season.

Not seen a midfielder quarterback like this since Pirlo

I know the club are charging us for all sorts of things but if they were to do a behind the scenes doco on this season etc i would definitely pay to watch it at the end of the year. Would be interesting to see how martin coaches, how players implement it etc, very impressed so far.

This is the saints way amigo, should be our club mantra.

Super stoked with that performance last night, have not seen us control a match that much in a long long time. That first 20mins was awesome as it really was step change from anything we have done before or shown in pre-season. Its disappointing that the other team has to be aweful for us to be good, sometimes we make the other team aweful. The pressing was really good last night as well and when edozie can put it together he will be a big threat as he was skinning more people than predator last night. Thought entire defence/goalie played well, unlucky with the goal, stephens the ball playing CB, loved that he stepped out of defence multiple times carrying the ball. Lots of improvement to come, will be better at set pieces as well, out of that team last night only JWP looks like he can leave if west ham stop arguing amongst themselves. Well done Russell Martin and the coaching staff, great work bro's. Also laughed at benali getting confused and calling him Martin instead of Russell in the pitchside interview.

How our fans should be behaving in the championship grounds.

Aribo has gone full Gervinho hairline and I'm all for it.

Am enjoying Stephens passing out from the back, especially the switch to Tella he does. Also has Don Goodman never watched us? Talking about the gulf in class etc cos we are premiership, bro we were utter shit and played a different way last year, we are trying a whole new system this year, not all of our improvements is down to our wage bill.

2 strikers goals tonight.....couldnt score in a brothel last season..

Nice tweet to describe our first half

Yeah his work rate has been excellent, nice bit of luck with the goal but his defending and pressing from the front has been excellent.

Are you clinton morrision

Yeah i dunno he's played well but i just expect him to lose the ball leading to a turn over (which he hasnt done), i dunno why, maybe its the stuart armstrong effect, just expecting someone to lose it in the centre cirlce.

How did you survive last season if you think having over 70% possession and scoring a goal is dull ?

I love being the man city of the championship, just need more goals to make it truly enjoyable. Weirdly KWP doesnt fill me with confidence (might be his pre-season give away) and why are we only crossing to edozie for some reason.

When a striker scores is when I'll know Martin has cracked the code
